strictly not so. magic squares typically at least add to the same
numbers in their rows and columns. such as the Square of Saturn:
|4|9|2|
|3|5|7|
|8|1|6| from memory, orientation may vary.
rows, columns and diagonals add to 15, totalling 45.
generally, any square can be magical if employed properly by the mage.
> pretty freaky, huh?
they can be impressive. their analysis is a lesson in cypher and surface.
the varying sizes are associated with or attributed to the Seven Visible
Planets (of the Ancients). I suspect there is greater variation in terms
of reflection or directional orientation than is at first admitted by
those who present them as doctrinal or required for practice or as part
of an occult philosophical edifice (Agrippa et al).
magic squares are classified by orders of magnitude (dimension) and their
qualities form family-relations based on numerical and planar principles.
see Andrews, for example, from which I'll quote if there's interest.
